If you've noticed your mood being a little off the last two days, and people being a little crazier than normal, you're not alone.

Mecury is officially in Retrograde once again, and when this happens our moods and things around us tend to get a little chaotic.

The second Mercury Retrograde of the year began yesterday on July 7 and will come to an end on August 2 according to the Daily Express.

So what is Mercury Retrograde?

During the retrograde period, the planet Mercury appears to be travelling backward from our planet’s perspective.

Basically, it appears that the planet slows down, and then appears to completely stop and move backward. And while all of this is just a tricky optical illusion. The effects of this anomaly are anything but.

According to the publication, astrology believes that mecury rules communication, clear thinking, travel, and truth, and that the planet coming out of alignment creates all these things to go off kilter too.

What affects can we expect?

"This summer's Mercury retrograde isn’t going to be easy, During this retrograde, we will be moving back from Leo to Cancer, then from Cancer to Leo again"

She said: "People will be re-evaluating facts they have heard and will really have to decipher if they're sure of the truthfulness or not.

"People will really begin to see the truth and question their actions from the past as well as the actions and motives of others.

“It may cause a real contentions time in people's lives by bringing a lot of self-reflection on our actions and the actions of others. It's just a summer of reflection."
